Grilled Teriyaki Chicken
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of soy sauce, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of rice vinegar, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Let the teriyaki sauce cool.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour 3/4 cup of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken, reserving the rest for basting. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Grill the chicken on the preheated grill for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, basting occasionally with the reserved teriyaki sauce.
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the remaining teriyaki sauce and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Slice the grilled chicken and drizzle with the thickened teriyaki sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
